4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL INFORMATION
TO THE OPERATOR
The primary responsibility for safety with this equipment falls to the operator. Make sure that the equipment is operated only by trained
individuals that have read and understand this manual. Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted.
It is the skill, care, common sense, and good judgement of the operator that will determine how efficiently and safely the job is performed.
Know your equipment before you start. Know its capabilities and how to operate all the controls.
Visually inspect your equipment before you start, ensure correct assembly and installation of the attachment and never operate equipment
that is not in proper working order.
Practice the operation of your new attachment and become familiar with the controls and the way it handles on your machine. If there is any
portion of this manual or function you do not understand, contact your local authorized dealer or the manufacturer.
1.
Never operate the Attachment without first reading and understanding the entire operator’s manual.
2.
Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning decals on your equipment.
3. Follow all safety decals. Keep them clean and replace them if they become worn, damaged or illegible.
4. Know your equipment inside and out. Know how to operate all controls and know emergency shut down procedures.

Keep all stepping surfaces, pedals, and controls free from dirt, grease and oil. Keep equipment clean to help avoid injury from slipping
or a fall when getting on or off equipment.
